Just Like Dad TV Movie 1995 Aired on the Disney Channel 1h 41m MY BLURB: Jarrett Lennon, who played his friend, Sherwood, is a lot cuter than the lead, Ben Diskin, who played Charlie! IMHO ;-) Maybe that explains why Diskin disappeared after that one role, while Lennon continued his successful career in commercials and movies. Could be... M. A feel-good flick. ------ TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KljJ3WQKfiY WATCH FULL FILM (480p): https://youtube.com/watch?v=nyaJA1pekBc THE SKYKID: The 1995 American film Just Like Dad does not shine with an original or poignant storyline, yet its easy going family-friendly nature turns it into a perfect choice for a laid back Sunday afternoon. Made for TV and directed by Blair Treu, the movie tells the story of twelve year old Charlie (Ben Diskin). Charlie’s small stature and wimpy looks turn him into an ideal target for the school bullies, and while he is not the only kid being bullied (his best friend Sherwood (Jarrett Lennon) is frequently subjected to similar treatment), he is desperately seeking a way out. Unfortunately for Charlie, his dad (Wallace Shawn) is a nerdy scientist, bullied on his own by his colleagues at work. His dad’s solution is to pay the bullies so they will leave him alone. Seeing no other solution for his problems, Charlie decides that the only way to achieve a better status at school is to win the father-son completions at the next school picnic. As his own dad is anything but athletic, Charlie decides to recruit a pretend father from the local bodybuilding club as a substitute. He is successful in that undertaking, but then things do not go exactly as planned. SUMMARIES: Charlie is constantly bullied at school and decides to invite a weightlifter to pose as his father at the father/son picnic. The lie spirals out of control and Charlie ends up the target of a kidnapping due to the weightlifter's troubled past. Charlie along with a close friend of his are constantly harassed by school bullies, Charlie has a crush there that he wishes to be able to court, and has a scientist and kind but pacifistic and not particularly attractive appearing father, who is also troubled every now and then by pranksters who also work there. After some failed attempts Charlie does with his father in hopes of qualifying them for the father/son picnic competition, he decides to substitute him by going to a gym and inviting a weightlifter to pose as his father at it. One he comes across agrees to his ploy, and when the competition comes, they succeed. On a count of school pressures following that, the lie about Charlie and his dad spirals out of control and Charlie ends up at the mercy of a kidnapping due to the weightlifter's past involvement with a gang of hoodlums. By that point, not only will the whole truth have to come out to everyone sooner or later whether through Charlie confessing it or by circumstances bringing it about, but it is going to take both the weightlifter and the real father working together to get Charlie out of the mess of being at the mercy of criminals. —Anonymous WATCH FULL FILM (480p): https://youtube.com/watch?v=nyaJA1pekBc [@nonymouse] [Guardster] [Proxify] [Anonymisierungsdienst] |
